Apache Spark is the de-facto standard for large scale data processing. This is the first course of a series of courses towards the IBM Advanced Data Science Specialization. We strongly believe that is is crucial for success to start learning a scalable data science platform since memory and CPU constraints are to most limiting factors when it comes to building advanced machine learning models.

In this course we teach you the fundamentals of Apache Spark using python and pyspark. We'll introduce Apache Spark in the first two weeks and learn how to apply it to compute basic exploratory and data pre-processing tasks in the last two weeks. Through this exercise you'll also be introduced to the most fundamental statistical measures and data visualization technologies.
This gives you enough knowledge to take over the role of a data engineer in any modern environment. But it gives you also the basis for advancing your career towards data science.

If you choose to take this course and earn the Coursera course certificate, you will also earn an IBM digital badge. To find out more about IBM digital badges follow the link ibm.biz/badging.
After completing this course, you will be able to:
• Describe how basic statistical measures, are used to reveal patterns within the data
• Recognize data characteristics, patterns, trends, deviations or inconsistencies, and potential outliers.
• Identify useful techniques for working with big data such as dimension reduction and feature selection methods
• Use advanced tools and charting libraries to:
o improve efficiency of analysis of big-data with partitioning and parallel analysis
o Visualize the data in an number of 2D and 3D formats (Box Plot, Run Chart, Scatter Plot, Pareto Chart, and Multidimensional Scaling)
For successful completion of the course, the following prerequisites are recommended:
• Basic programming skills in python
• Basic math
• Basic SQL (you can get it easily from https://www.coursera.org/learn/sql-data-science if needed)
In order to complete this course, the following technologies will be used:
(These technologies are introduced in the course as necessary so no previous knowledge is required.)
• Jupyter notebooks (brought to you by IBM Watson Studio for free)
• ApacheSpark (brought to you by IBM Watson Studio for free)
• Python
We've been reported that some of the material in this course is too advanced. So in case you feel the same, please have a look at the following materials first before starting this course, we've been reported that this really helps.
Of course, you can give this course a try first and then in case you need, take the following courses / materials. It's free...

I am in the middle of taking the course, and my IBM Bluemix trial has expired. What do I do now?

If you have started a course that
depends on the IBM Bluemix, and your trial has expired, you can continue taking
the course on the same environment by providing your credit card
information. To avoid being charged, close
any application instances you are not using and pay attention to the usage of
your environment details.

Alternative, you can export any
projects you are working on. Then, you
can register for a new trial using a different email account, not used on IBM
Bluemix before. Finally, import the projects to the new account.

When
exporting your projects, for Node-RED use the process used when submitting
assignments (export flow form the old project, then import to the new project via clipboard). For Node.js you can redeploy the code to
Bluemix using your new account credentials.

If you have customized your GIT
repository, or registered devices, migrating to a new environment will require
you to redo those steps to reflect in the new environment.

I am about to start the course, my IBM Bluemix trial has expired, how do I proceed with this course?

If you already have an IBM Bluemix account, but your
trial period has expired, you can always create a new account with a different
email address.
